h To all whom t may concern):

Be it known that I, MAURICEL. Laviana, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, Illinois, have invented a new and usel iulIce-Cream Former and Dispenser, of

which the following is a specification.

' My present invention relates to that class' of implements which areused ,to form, measure and dispense a confection such as icecream andcomprises among its objects the'following: To produce an' iee creamformer and dispenser of such a shape that it- Wlll fit closely the sideof an icecream can ot the usual size and shape; to produce an eilicientand easilyoperated dispenser ot' the character described; to produce anirnf plemen't of the character described which 1s easily disassembledand reassembled' so that it may be readily cleaned ont when necessary;to improve in general upon 'the-construction .of an implement ot thecharacter' described; and such further objects, advantages andcapabilities as will later more fully* appear and as are inherent in theinvention.

My invention further resides in the comq bination, construction andarrangement oi? parte illustrated in the accompanyingdrawlng and, whileI have shown therein a preferr-ed embodiment and amodification there of,.I desire the saine to be understood as" illumrrative only and not aslimit-ing my invention. A

Referring to the draiving' annexed hereto 3G and forming a part hereof,Fig. 1 is an elevat-ion, partly in'section, of one form ot my presentinvention; Fie'. i3 is across section substantially along the planeindicated by the line 2f?. Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a broken sectionsubstantially along the plane indicated b the line 3-'-3'Fig. 1; Fig. 4is a broken elevation of a modified form of my construeu tion; Fig. 5 isa broken section substantially along the plane indicated by the line5--5 Referring more in detail to the annexed drawing, numeral 1designates the handle,

2 the shank, and 3 the head of my dispenser. The head 3 4comprises abody portion 4 and a hollow extension 5 in which is located arsciprocable plunger 6 connected to one end of an actuating rod 7. Theopposite end of the actuating' rod is connected, pivotally, at 8 to link9 which is,A .in turn, pivotally connected at 10 with a bell cranl;`lever ite The latter is pivoted at 12 on a. bracket 13 mounted upon theshaft or shank Housed within the hollow handle and shank is Va spring14- whicli is connected to the rod 'i' in such a way as to causeretraction ci the saine no when force is 'removed from the bellcra'nk11. This returns the plunger 6 to the `position shown in` Fig: l. so'that the former-and dispenser can be Vfilled with ice cream or thelike. When this has been filled as indicated, mi the bell crank isactuated to v-force the ice c rean out and deliver the saine where desire 1 i In the forms shown in Figs. 1,2 andV 3 the pivotal connectionbetween rod 'Tf and l@ link 9 'is shown as e. screw. Surrounding this isa washer l5 which separates the end of the link' 9 from the end of therod 7^ whichis bent over at rightangles to the mainporn tion thereof,l'asshown more clearly in Fig. 3. When it isidesired to clean the imple'ment shown inthis hgure, it is only necessary to remove the screw El,thus melting it possible to nnhook the spring lli# from' the end of therod 7, which can then be. @il taken out. of the hollow shank 2 alongwith plunger 6. It will then be possible to scald out carefully theinterior of the head 3 sd that nothing will have an opportunity to sourtherein. l'n the constrnction shown in Sill Figs. d and 5 the saineresult is accomplished by vremoving the screws 16 suiiiciently to enablethe bonn 5 to Ybe detached from the body li. These baits can then. bethoroughly scalded as in the other construction. ln this constructionthe rod is permanently con- @nected at' 8 to the linkt) and hasperinanently connected' to it the spring; 11i. since it is unecessar'yto disconnect these parts at this point. The preferred form is shown asbeet ing' curved to lit the wall of an ice .cream can while themodification shown in Fig. d

is illustrated as being fiat. It will be under" vstood that either ofthese forms may ,be

made either flat or curved. as desired. 'l'hese mi* constructions aredesigned primarily for the forming and dispensing of ice cream for themaking of ice cream sandwiches, though it will be understood that theyare not confined in their untility to this use.

While I have shown and described herein what I nowconsider as apreferred form of my invention, I desire that it be understood their,this disclosure is illnstreive only xand does not limit the scope ofSuid invention.

Having now described my invenion, I

5 l. in an implement of the character (lescribed, a forming head whichis hollowond has a handle Secured thereto whereby i@ may be shovedendwise into a confection, said heed having Walls thereof shaped as ap0rtion of a, cylinder Whose axis is substantially parallel to thedirection of the length of the handle, an d, capable of forming a slabof the crifection to be served.'
